I don’t want to jinx things, but Oliver my four year old has been quite well behaved lately. It’s almost suspicious. I’m guessing it has something to do with the “rainbow” chart at his preschool. If you make good decisions (not biting or scratching. What are they, cats?) your name will get moved to the color blue or purple. You don’t want red. Red is bad. If you stay in the “good zone”, at the end of the week you get a treat. Kids have it so good don’t they? At what other time in your life do you get rewarded for not biting someone or using potty words. And they get treats! Treats people. For being good little humans.

Well I know what treat I would pick at the end of the week. This Pineapple Coffee Cake! It’s super moist because of the bits of crushed pineapple throughout and has the perfect amount of crumb. Its the same batter I used in my Pineapple Dole Whip Cupcakes. The crunchy cinnamon sugar topping is a perfect contrast to the moist cake, and the raspberry glaze gives it the perfect hint of tart berry flavor. I’ve come to the conclusion that cinnamon constitutes it as a breakfast food. So dieters, your’e semi safe. I don’t know about you, but I wish it was morning already!

Hey Denise!
That’s exactly what I did. I just blended everything with a whisk. Then you can eyeball how thin you want it. Or add more preserves if you want the raspberry flavor to be deeper. If it gets too thin you can always add powdered sugar. Let me know if that helps!
